Id probably be angrier if this was some company making econoboxes, but if enshitification wants to target the cars of the rich, fuckin’ go for it.

Easy and cheap access to anonymous, private, libre, and freedom-respecting computing is the inaliable human right of all hackers and future hackers.

I shouldn’t even need an email to sign up, why do you think I’m here?

Is it really any worse than Gen X’s symbol of youthful rebellion being a cable TV channel owned and operated by Viacom so they can advertise music that’s been packaged up by the big three labels?

I’d feel kinda happy about that if it happened after what they did to pebble, if it wherent for the fact that the assholes who fucked that up still got their money, and now even more people would have wrist-mounted bricks.

Where does the kebab go after he eats if he’s got no stomach anymore?

Have you guys started the new season of oww my balls?

Yeah but there’s still that weird play-doh softness to the people. Like the early subsurface scattering demos where everything looked like meat jelly.

Also processing time, especially on weaker hardware or with bigger files.

That would unfortunately require me to edit GPO I have non control over. I could temporarily knock it out with regedit but I don’t know if it’d be tossed next gpupdate, I’d have to check.

Yeah I suppose that would get in the way.

What are you guys naming your files anyways? No more than four words in lower snake case, as the Machine Spirit intended.

Part of me says the real solution is to stop paying people $12m a year to throw balls around, but then again compared to the amount the people who own the teams and league get, shits chump change.

Linux might have a similar file name restriction, but what’s more important IMO, is the obnoxious file path restrictions NTFS has.

Naming a file less than 255 chars is a lot easier than keeping its path down.

Limiting file name is one thing, but dealing with limited path lengths when trying to move a custies folder full of subdir on subdirs is obnoxious when the share name its being transferred to makes it just too long.

Yeah but the ones worth your time usually set up some other form of income like patreon so their not as dependant. Its just hard to upstart anywhere else full time because numbers.

Amazon doesn’t sell devices with Google Play or other google apps loaded on them, they specifically don’t have a deal with google, and instead create a flavor of android based on the AOSP, which is increasingly minimalistic on purpose.

Samsung does have a store, but its not like Google didn’t try to stop it.

Basically your options are to do everything that google says, or reinvent the wheel trying to push AOSP.

I think there’s some leeway given for manufacturer owned appstores, especially for the big boys.

That being said its mostly controlled opposition IMO.

Apple has stranglehold over their devices.

Google has a stranglehold over theirs, and everyone else’s who isn’t either Google or built to serve a sanctioned (by the U.S.) foreign market like China or Russia.

Because they make deals with manufacturers to ensure only google play is loaded on, and that the bootloader is locked so custom ROMs can’t be easily installed. If they decline, they lose the right to ship w/ google play, and therefore piss of the average user.

Not just a coincidence that the only flagship devices on the market with an unlockable bootloader are made by Google. If you want to use android without them in a secure manner, you’re going to have to pay them for it.

Honestly I just want the pinephone to be better supported. Fuck android phones, I want a Linux palmtop like God intended.

I don’t care about the disagreement, it’s about the fact that some people want to eat human flesh.

Well if that where true, you wouldn’t have replied would you? Literally the disagreement is about said human flesh. To some extent you care.

It doesn’t matter what the source of the human flesh is in this case because I think the point is more what is motivating these people to that action.

Personally? I want an ethical meat alternative. I have sensory issues with food. I would love to switch to a mostly or entirely vegan diet, but the textures of a lot of plant-based foods fucking throw me. I hate it. I wish I wasn’t like that, but I am.

Using your own sample to grow your own meat is inherently the most ethical way to eat meat. I’m not doing psychological damage to myself by doing so, you’ve no reason to think I would be.
